from the songs album Unreleased
As the early morning filters through
My shuttered window pane
I look about and realize
That things are still the same
These flowers in a glass
Mark the hours that have passed
As i lay sleeping
And i can hear my footsteps ringing
Down the empty morning street
And the concrete that i walk upon
Is cold beneath my feet
A single winging dove
Reminds me of the sleeping love
That i am leaving
'cause everyone must someday do his own thing
'cause everyone must someday do his own thing
And i have a brand new song to sing
In the morning skies the stars
Begin to sputter and to fade
As the night surrenders all its claim
On shadows it has made
A watchdog's hungry bark
Is the morning's first remark
Upon my walking
And everyone must someday do his own thing
And everyone must someday do his own thing
And i have a brand new song to sing
And i'm told that if i try
That i can do most anything
Well then i would like to sing a song
And make this morning ring
As the morning turns to day
Hear the waking city say
Who is that singing
